School., Is it a right or a privilege? Options

[Smoogrish]

Do you see school as a right or a privilege? I see it as a privelege. Sure, it helps the overall country to provide free education, but there are many many countries in the world that do not, and many children in poor countries never get a decent education because they are forced to get a job at the age of 7.

Learning from your parents was possible in the old days but today, because of all the dramatic changes in the recent years, it is nearly impossible. If you learned only from your parents then your knowledge can only reach that of your parents but with school you interact with so many different components that your education is only limited by your capacity to learn. Its true that girls in the old days, that did not attend school and learned only from their parents, were still classy and functioned well in the society. But you also have to remember that it was the type of society where ignorance was bliss and people not many people, that learned at home, came up with brilliant ideas to make the world better.
